Description

Cepacaine CAS NO 75975-62-1 is a specialized pharmaceutical intermediate and chemical building block of significant importance in modern synthetic chemistry. Its value lies in its role as a key precursor for the development of advanced active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in the cephalosporin antibiotic class. This compound is essential for manufacturers and R&D teams in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and fine chemical sectors who require high-purity intermediates for complex synthesis.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Synthesis: A critical intermediate in the production of advanced cephalosporin antibiotics.
• Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) Manufacturing: Used as a key building block in multi-step synthesis processes for novel drug candidates.
• Research & Development: Serves as a valuable reagent in medicinal chemistry for exploring new antibacterial compounds and structure-activity relationships.
• Fine Chemical Production: Employed in the synthesis of complex, high-value organic molecules requiring specific β-lactam structures.
• Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs): Supplied to CMOs engaged in the production of generic or proprietary antibiotic formulations.

Quality Control

Our Cepacaine is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Production adheres to cGMP guidelines where applicable, and the material is subjected to rigorous analytical testing including HPLC, NMR, and IR spectroscopy. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled under dry conditions to prevent degradation.
